Abstract

Polymer grouting technology has demonstrated significant advantages in maintenance and repair projects and has been widely applied in various fields such as road repair, building rectification, foundation reinforcement, mechanical structure enhancement, and leakage prevention and repair. Based on the analysis of domestic and international research on polymer grouting technology and application cases, this paper studies the fluidity and diffusion mode of polymer materials, and also explores their mechanical properties. The research shows that the fluidity and reactivity of polymer grouting materials are strongly influenced by temperature and time; as the temperature rises, the chemical reaction rate increases, because high temperatures accelerate the chemical reaction process, causing the grout to solidify faster, indicating a positive influence of temperature and time on viscosity. Additionally, polymer materials possess excellent compressive, tensile, and shear resistance capabilities, and their performance can be effectively applied in engineering fields that require bearing significant loads. This paper investigates the flow patterns and mechanical properties of polymers, and the experimental data obtained provide examples for related fields, facilitating the research of new technologies and processes for polymer materials.
